sociology of globalization

The sociology of globalization examines how increased interconnectedness influences societies, cultures, and relationships worldwide. It explores the effects of global economic practices, technology, migration, and cultural exchanges on local communities and identities. This field considers both opportunities, such as cultural sharing and economic growth, and challenges, like inequality and cultural erosion. Ultimately, it seeks to understand how global forces shape social structures and individual lives, highlighting the interconnected nature of our modern world and the complexities involved in cultural integration and social change across borders.
